YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University soccer team improved to 4-0 for the first time since 1999 as senior Maddie O'Farrell's 17th-minute goal lifted the Eagles past Purdue Fort Wayne, 1-0, Thursday, Aug. 29, at Scicluna Field.
How It Happened
Off dishes from redshirt freshman Josie Langhans (Sun Prairie, Wis./Sun Prairie) and sophomore Olivia Sipsock (Medina, Ohio/Medina), O'Farrell (Haslett, Mich./Lansing Catholic) slotted home a left-footed strike from the left wing in the 17th minute.
PFW nearly found the equalizer in the 56th minute but the Mastodon strike clanked off the crossbar before being cleared by the Eagles.
Redshirt sophomore Ella Holland (Dunwoody, Ga./Dunwoody/Samford) made three saves to earn her third clean sheet of the season.
The Eagles won the battle in shots by a 13-10 margin, and in corner kicks by a 9-0 margin.
Game Notes
» Eastern moved to 4-0-0 on the year while PFW moved to 2-2-1.
» O'Farrell netted her second goal of the season and 11th career goal.
» Sipsock has at least one point in each of the Eagles' first four matches, the first Eagle to do so since 2012 as Angela Vultaggio did so in four-straight matches.
» Langhan tallied her second assist of the season.
» Eastern has three-straight clean sheets at Scicluna Field, which marks the first time since 2008-09 and the Eagles' first time with back-to-back shutouts since 2017.
Historical Notes
» After today's contest, Eastern leads in the all-time series with PFW, 5-1-1. Today's contest marks the first time EMU did not score multiple goals.
» The Eagles are 4-0 for the first time since 1999. That year, EMU made its only appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
» Eastern beat the University at Buffalo, Oct. 27, 2019, in the final home match of 2019 before EMU topped Central Michigan University, March 4, 2021 and the University of Toledo, March 18, 2021, for its last three-match home winning streak. EMU had previously gone 22 matches without winning on its home field.
